Chapter 9: Moth to Flame

March 5th came quickly. There were a total of five occupants, the most senior of which was Ming Chenyan, who had been a Blood Worder twice, followed by Dong Ning and Bai Ye, who had been a Blood Worder once, and lastly, Fang Wenxuan and Gao Yiye, who were executing the Blood Word for the first time. This time, the L city that the bloodletter was traveling to was very close to K city, so there was no need to take a plane or high speed train, just drive there directly. Taking the high speed train, if the evil spirits continued to chase and kill when they came back, it was impossible to jump from the car window. The one responsible for driving the car was Fang Wenxuan, whose driving skills were one of the best in the crowd. Dong Xie woke up in the early hours of this day. He really couldn't let go of Ah Ning anyways. Ming Chenyan didn't check out the source of the ID said in this chapter. Obviously, this was a supernatural phenomenon. And the information about the deep sea that was currently available online was highly limited. There were no photos, no video interviews, and even the age was not quite certain. Dong Xie had once asked his chief editor, after all, they were all from the Suspense Channel. Although his editor-in-charge was not directly responsible for Deep Sea, he said that even Deep Sea's editor-in-charge usually rarely contacted each other. Deep Sea seemed to dislike socializing, and he hadn't participated in the several annual meetings of Singularity.com that had been organized in the past. Then, Dong Xie checked all the current news about the upcoming movie and televisionization of Black Ghost. As a result, a video interview with Sun Tim Fei was also found. Sun Tianfei was a senior producer of Dragon Sea Entertainment, while his wife was a gold-medal agent in the mainland's entertainment industry, with an extremely wide range of contacts in the circle. Dragon Sea Entertainment is going to talk to the group that Singularity.com belongs to about equity subscription this time, after all, behind Singularity is one of the top entertainment companies in the mainland. From the video interview, Dong Xie could ascertain that the IP movie and television adaptation rights of Black Ghost Shadow had already been gotten by Dragon Sea Entertainment. Dong Xie and Ming Chenyan had a careful discussion and studied the entire novel. Originally, it was difficult to judge the specific connection between the novel and the word blood from the word blood alone, but the matter of the golden flash was what convinced Dong Xie that the black ghost shadow must exist. He kept calling the golden flash, also known as Han Guangbei's cell phone, over and over again, and the phone was now turned off. After that, Deep Sea didn't continue to update either. Ming Chenyan complained that Dong Qi hadn't asked for Fukami's weibo earlier, but Dong Qi said that Fukami's character was withdrawn, and he was worried that the other party would be intensely unhappy if he forced him to ask for a weibo signal without his consent, which would interfere with obtaining his saved manuscripts. Obviously, obtaining the manuscript was closely related to this Bloodletter mission, so there was absolutely no room for sloppiness and carelessness. Finally, Qin Ziyuan and Mo Yuan joined the discussion. After a few hours of discussion, all the various details were all taken into consideration. However, there was still not enough understanding of the local area, and at this stage, many things could only be taken one step at a time. In Black Ghost, although the Black Shadow is the final boss, each volume will involve one or two evil and powerful evil spirits, just as likely to appear in the Bloodletter. Of course, Mo Yuan thinks that with the difficulty of the secondary Bloodletter inferred, the number of evil spirits appearing is not too many, and it may be that just the Black Ghost Shadow and a few of them are written by Shamu based on the real situation. And then there is the most central question, the true nature of the black shadow. And if the depiction of Yama God's village is based on Fukai's hometown, how many characters in the novel have realistic prototypes in existence? And how much difference is there between it and the novel? Frankly speaking, Dong Xie had never dreamed that Black Ghost Shadow and The Devil's Apartment, which he was now writing, were both written from real-life situations. This seemed to be a kind of irony, didn't it? This time, with the word blood, he hated to go forward with his body in place of Ah Ning. Fortunately, although the local area was remote, there was still a cell phone signal that could connect to the apartment. But even so, Dong Xie was still a million times more worried. As soon as he woke up, he walked over to the safe, entered the combination to open it, and then, from inside, took out the pistol that was kept inside and checked the bullets inside. The last time he was in Bloodletter, the group of piggyback residents dragging their feet was still fresh in his mind, and Ming Chenyan, who was hanging out with Qin Ziyuan, was just as not very trustworthy to him. As for the moral quality of the duo of Fang Wenxuan and Gao Yiye, he dared not hold the slightest expectation, so he decided to give both guns to Dong Ning. Although Qin Ziyuan stated that Chen Yan did not have a gun, Dong Xie did not believe even half a word of this statement. Dong Xie grabbed the stroked the pistol's body in his hand. Even if the gun is equipped with a gun, the shooting speed is not fast gun, it can be seen that Qin Ziyuan is not naturally trusting enough to Dong Xie's siblings, but this is normal, Dong Xie is not surprised. At this time, it was still dark outside. Dong Xie walked to the window and looked outside. His lips mumbled a few times, and then, inwardly, he secretly made a certain determination. At this moment, after he had finally been completely faithful to his own feelings, after he knew that Ning had to leave him to carry out such a dangerous blood word, he realized that ever since that car accident back then, after he knew that Ning was not related to him by blood …… the days after that, he no longer really viewed Ning as his sister. He was just self-hypnotizing and self-deceiving. In retrospect, when he and Xie Ruoni agreed to get married, his feelings were only the excitement of having his own family, for him, there was just one more "family". But for Ning, he felt that even if he had to go to the end of hell, even if he had to face the possibility of destruction and doom, he was willing to take a gamble. In front of death, he realized that his life has long been unable to live without Ah Ning. From the beginning to the end, in his bones, he was a person who pursued the ultimate. His deepest desire is never ordinary happiness, even if he faces tragedy, but if that is what he really wants, he will go after it. When Dong Ning woke up, she finished dressing and walked outside to the living room, but found a note placed on the coffee table. Above the note was written, "Ning, I have to go out, my grandmother's condition became not so good yesterday, and now she has been transferred to the hospital. You go ahead and execute the bloodletter, I'll contact you later." Dong Xie was driving his Ferrari at the moment. The car sped down the road, and when it stopped at the intersection, passersby gave it sideways glances, and both men and women were quite envious; after all, in a small city like K City, such a luxury car was not often seen. Dong Xie had already contacted all the relatives of his mother's maiden family that his sister could reach out to, basically all of the same age, and all of them were unified. He, on the other hand, had already decided to go ahead and head to the vicinity of the bloodletter execution site and conduct an investigation. He's doing the same thing he did the last time Mo Yuan did it. Intervening in a bloodletter that didn't belong to him and surviving it would allow him to learn one of the apartment's hidden rules. And for Dong Xie, it was unrealistic to ask him to sit dry inside the apartment and wait for Ning to return. At this moment, Dong Xie naturally knew how crazy what he had done was. He had once been unable to understand Mo Yuan's behavior, but what he was doing now was nothing less than him. Looking at the countdown of the red light in front of him, Dong Xie's mind recalled the countless past events that he had spent with Ning since he was a child. His hands gripped the steering wheel with a death grip, suppressing the intense fear in his heart. Naturally, he would never forget the countless occupants he had seen die tragically in the Bloodletter Quest. However, he still wasn't going to stop himself. He carefully looked at the map, the journey from K City to L City would just pass by where the cemetery where his parents were buried was located. After his father and stepmother passed away, they were eventually buried in the same cemetery as his mother, and the distance wasn't too far. Dong Xie decided to go to the cemetery once first. At eight thirty in the morning, Dong Xie entered the cemetery where his parents were buried. This is one of the best feng shui mausoleums around K City, with mountains and water, and fresh air. It was not yet the Qingming Festival, so the number of people who came here to visit the graves was not very large. Walking into the relatively cold cemetery, Dong Xie's hand held a few bouquets of flowers, and every step was heavy. The first place he went to was his mother's side. When his mother passed away, he was still only two years old and had no memory of her at all. Looking at the picture of his mother on the tombstone, he placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. "Mom …… It's been a long time since I came to see you." At this time, inside the apartment. Qin Ziyuan was sitting in room 1004, the room that Fang Han used to live in. After Fang Han had left, this room had never entered a new occupant. The CD player in the room was playing Schubert's narrative song, The Demon King. This was one of Fang Han's favorite songs in the past. He shook the glass of red wine in his hand and took another sip before muttering, "Fang Han, what else do you really know, and what exactly is that evil spirit from Hawaii?"
